•
Billy TheBee Grant and Dave “Laney” Lane are back with another packed episode, taking you inside a busy Brentford week on and off the pitch
In a packed intro we start by looking at the Premier League injury table, where the Bees’ resilience really shows - third bottom in the Premier League for minutes lost through injuries (just 262), comparing favourably against clubs like Newcastle, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Forest who are sitting far higher
There’s a full transfer round-up, including:
- The aerially dominant, defensively strong Kaye Furo
- Kristoffer Ajer’s and Vitaly Janelt getting contract extensions to 2030
- Nunes off to Swansea on loan
- Onyeka attracting interest from Valencia
- Growing attention around Kayode
Plus a few rumours here and there including Harry Wilson from Fulham. Do we believe that one? We will see
We also touch on TV fixture movements affecting Wolves, Bournemouth and Leeds, plus a nod to the fast that Steam Packet has new owners and we advise fans to get down there at midday for the Forest game due to shorter licensing hours
Then it’s onto the chelsea Chelsea, breaking down the performance and standout players and talking to Chelsea and Brentford fans after the match
